EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Sally Sunshine]

I am sorry banti

@BantyChooks I am so sorry about Maple. Don't beat yourself up. You have cared for her a lot. Sometimes we just don't know. You would not have left her out on purpose if you thought it would hurt her.Just like I did not intentionally let the handsome cock from CC get frostbite. His was not his feet though so I am luckier.

Thank you dax....

Thanks everyone else, I'm not giving up yet. If she stops moving around or eating, well, then I guess it'll be time to pull the plug.

@Sally Sunshine I am going to start asking for direct intervention by the great physician.

X many

Hello would you like to be my mentor?

No, but really. So I don't need the book of forms they sent me? It can be done online?

Yea, it can be, you have to sign up using your NPIP flock number. It was clumsy as I recall, I did it a year ago so I kind of forgot.

Some states require the 9-3. It is a PITA because they are not all alike.

Sally, saw this and thought of you:

Quote: Well, just make sure animal meat/protein is in the first three ingredients. If it has mostly grains in it, it won't help. Kitten food works best with top three ingredients of meat. You could also give them, well, MEAT. Ground hamburger or something. Please do try this before doing anything drastic - egg eating really can be reversed. Mine were eating them for a brief period as well - changed their feed to Nutrena's Feather Fixer and gave more BOSS and it stopped almost immediately.

Maple is now panting occasionally.... I don't think she's going to make it.

Quote: @ChickenCanoe - I think you forgot the link. (I'd do it myself, but I forget which one it is that you use.)

I am so tired - I am almost falling over. No way can I get into the attic safely today - it will have to be tomorrow. Good thing I got everyone cleaned out and topped up yesterday - I don't think I have any energy to do more than collect eggs and change chick water.

She wanted to know if you've hugged a duck recently.

Apparently, today is duck hugging day.

@Fire Ant Farm I made cages with roll-away floors to keep the eggs from the nasty birds. The stuff I bought lists beef byproducts as the first ingredient. Some of the birds, some of the birds refused to touch it....

They are like little spoiled brats..





This is the cage I made today. Those are actual convicts in the photo.

Below is a test run on the slopping floor. I am hoping the ceramic egg rolls faster than a lighter real egg.
